5% is 5%, so if they make $100 in profit, that's five bucks. It's also up to the developer to determine what constitutes profit. How many "big guys" do you think are going to be raising funds on Kickstarter exactly?

For most of these projects the entire deal is funded upfront, meaning they're essentially no risk. Giving 5% back to the community doesn't seem to me like much to ask in return.
